Cloud resource scaling using programmable-network traffic statistics

Abstract:

Some embodiments are associated with systems and methods to provide effective cloud-resource scaling (e.g., for virtual machines and containers). A data center computing system may collect programmable-network real-time traffic statistics associated with enterprise resource planning users. A network and enterprise resource planning load for the enterprise resource planning users may then be predicted (e.g., using a mathematical regression approach) based on an analysis of past programmable-network real-time traffic statistics and current enterprise resource planning user activity. According to some embodiments, the analysis includes time-domain network traffic clustering based on a pre-processing query level categorization. The data center computing system may then dynamically allocate network resources for the enterprise resource planning users based on the predicted network and enterprise resource planning load.
